Update (2020-12-16): Created a log
I could reproduce the error and appended a log to the end of the question. Not the whole log. Tried to filter for passages with keyword error.
What I want to achieve:
Installing wxPython on a Raspberry Pi running RaspberryPiOS (Kernel version: 5.4, Release date: December 2nd, 2020).
What problem I ran into:
I installed a python version (3.8.6) via pyenv. With that, I tried to install wxPython via pip. I got a lot of errors due to missing but necessary packages. I installed a bunch of packages which are named in several blog posts and tutorials. But even after installing them the installation of wxPython failed.
Then I found a very helpful wiki entry here. I followed the steps except building a python version since I already had one (not a good one as I learned later).
Two hours ago I decided to follow every single step in the wiki and voila, wxPython is finally installed. Thank god (or whatever you believe in). I've to mention, that due to the wiki I used Python 3.8.2 and wxPython 4.0.7. And I used the –-enable-optimizations flag. But don't think that this flag is responsible for the success. Guess, that pyenv does something different when installing a python version.
My question(s):
Why isn't it possible to install wxPython with a python version from pyenv (with all the dependencies for wxpython already installed)? What is the main difference between building python on your own compared to let pyenv build it (should be asked in another topic/question?)?
I'm sorry that I can't post the error here. I was really frustrated yesterday and shut everything down without saving the logs.
Update: as mentioned at the top, I could reproduce the error. First one is with Python 3.8.5 installed via pyenv and the --enable-shared flag.
